He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 407

Chapter 407: Chapter 407

Kate stood outside of the penthouse door for a long time. She was still trying to swallow the bitter pill that Henry faked his affection for a long time.

He just wanted to get her pregnant and then give the baby to Marlon to get tortured to death just for money.

"No matter how many times he told me he had a change of heart, his initial intention was still heinous..." Kate murmured. She winced as she felt a slight contraction. She rubbed her eight-months belly and muttered, "I can’t guarantee my baby’ safety when he’s around. I don’t feel safe."

Of course, Kate felt a tinge of guilt for being petty and continued to stab Henry with all the hurtful words she could imagine.

She was also sad when she saw the anguish on his face. If she had followed her heart’s desire, she would have run towards Henry again and hugged him tight, probably also begging him not to hurt her anymore, because she had been heartbroken far too many times.

But her logic told her no. She couldn’t be weak, not when she had a baby she had to protect with her life.

So she took a deep breath. She was ready to enter the elevator and left.

But before she could do that, Henry suddenly opened the door and grabbed her arm, which forced Kate to turn around to face him.

Kate was shocked when she saw his tears.

Henry couldn’t control his tears and looked desperate as he clenched Kate’s arm.

"You can’t leave, Katherine. It’s too dangerous outside!" Henry raised his voice, desperately hoping that Kate would listen to him at least once. "This must be a trick Sarah, Marlon, and Graham used to separate us because you will be vulnerable outside!"

"Don’t touch me, you bastard!" Kate yelled and pushed Henry away spontaneously. But again, Henry didn’t let go, and Kate began to struggle.

Henry realized the harder he tried to stop Kate, the harder she struggled, which might hurt their baby. So he tried to tell her as gently as he could, "You can leave me. You can leave this penthouse as well. But you NEED to tell me where you want to go."

"So you will be able to stalk me and take my baby?!"

"NO! I HAVE TO PROTECT YOU NO MATTER WHAT!" Henry yelled back, thinking that Kate was being too stubborn. His gaze softened once he realized that Kate had stopped struggling and said, "I promised I would protect you. I won’t let you get hurt, Katherine..."

Kate began to heave after she struggled too much. She peered at Henry, searching for a bad intention coming from him, but he truly looked like someone who had accepted his fate.

"I... I know you don’t want to see my face. I know you hate my guts, but... I can’t let you leave without protection. I’d suffer thinking that I’ve failed to protect you," Henry said. He was hurting so much while saying all of this because, in his heart, he still didn’t want to let her go.

But if he desperately tried to imprison her in the penthouse right now, she would only despise him even more.

So he had to let go, temporarily.

"You can hate me all you want, but I don’t want anything to happen to our—"

"MINE! MY BABY!" Kate snapped as she claimed her baby immediately. She didn’t want Henry to have a claim on the baby. "You don’t deserve to claim him as your baby, Henry!"

Again, Henry was at a loss, knowing he couldn’t even claim his treasured son.

But he had to swallow the bitter pill and nodded reluctantly, though his whole body tensed when he did that.

"We have to keep your baby safe..." Henry said weakly. "So please, just tell me where you want to go, and I will escort you on your way."

"Escorting me? Oh, please," Kate sneered. "I feel nauseous just thinking about staying in the same room as you are. I can’t imagine myself sharing a ride with you."

Henry’s lips thinned, but he didn’t want to argue with Kate.

He simply wanted her and their baby to be safe and said, "Tell me where you want to go. I’ll ask Michael to escort you."

"Michael? Hahahah!" Kate laughed at the ridiculous statement. "Why do I need the help of YOUR subordinate? Do you think I don’t know that Michael must’ve also assisted you since the very start? You two are assholes!"

Kate used her phone to call Mai, and the call was connected soon after.

—

"Y—Yes, Kate?" Mai asked. She was just having a simple dinner with Michael in their apartment. It was the closest they could do as a date since they were so busy in the office these days.

"Where are you right now?" Kate asked.

"Uhh... in my apartment," Mai said. She glanced at Michael, who had stopped eating, ready to go if needed. "I’m with Michael as well. Do you need anything?"

"Heh, come to the penthouse with that piece of shit as well. I have a surprise for you," Kate said.

Beep.

—

Mai’s heartbeat skipped for a second when Kate called Michael ’a piece of shit.’

She didn’t know what was wrong, but Kate wouldn’t say such a mean thing to a man who had saved their lives.

"What did she say? Is there anything urgent?" Michael asked worriedly.

Mai stared at Michael hesitantly. She wondered if this man had done something absolutely heinous to make Kate turn her back on him.

"Kate said we need to go to the penthouse immediately. There is something urgent."

"Alright, let’s go now."

**

Mai and Michael went up and reached the penthouse in less than two minutes. They were still in their work clothes and about to start dinner before Kate called.

They were shocked to see Kate standing at the penthouse door with her luggage. While Henry was clenching her arm tightly, it was obvious that he had been crying.
